One of the biggest buzzwords we're hearing more and more in the food world is gluten-free. And eating gluten-free is also one of the most difficult tasks for those who suffer from Celiac disease, a challenging disorder of the digestive track in which sufferers cannot tolerate "gluten", a form of protein found in specific grains like wheat, rye, oats and barley.

So -- imagine the obstacles for both the consumer and the food industry to find foods and create menus that are "stomach friendly" on a number of levels. When you figure one in every 133 Canadians suffer from Celiac Disease, more consumers are on the hunt and seeking gluten-free options in their food shopping arenas.

Many food companies are jumping on the bandwagon, not only creating products that are gluten-free, but making the products nutritious and delicious, with recipes created and tested by experts in the nutritional field.

Just recently, Chex Gluten Free cereal made its debut in grocery stores and supermarkets across Canada, offering both Rice and Honey Nut Chex that can be used in a number of everyday recipes, allowing gluten-sensitive consumers to entertain and enjoy a variety of tasty treats. Here's a selection of great recipes that can be enjoyed by everyone. Check out Chexcanada.com for more info.

NOTE: Always read labels to make sure each recipe ingredient is gluten free. Products and ingredient sources can change.
